About the Exchange Online (Office 365) Report Pack

The MessageStats Report Pack for Exchange Online extends the core MessageStats application by adding the ability to gather user and mailbox information about your Exchange Online hosted services.

The report pack stores the information in the MessageStats database, to which additional tables are added when you install the report pack. The database provides content for the web-based MessageStats Reports.

Report Pack Components

When the report pack is installed, new nodes are added to the MessageStats Console. You can collect information about your Exchange Online environment by using new gathering task templates that are added to the MessageStats gathering components library.

For reporting, additional folders are added to the MessageStats Reports. The MessageStats database is extended to include tables for Exchange Online data.

The report pack is comprised of the following components:

•
MMC Console: Extends the MessageStats MMC-based client console to include a node for Exchange Online. This report pack MMC component must be installed on the server on which the MessageStats MMC client is installed.
•
Task Processor: Runs the MessageStats Exchange Online gathering tasks. The component runs queries about Exchange Online data and stores statistical information in the MessageStats database. You install the report pack task processors on a Task Execution Server on which the core MessageStats task processors are installed.
•
Database: Extends the MessageStats database to store Exchange Online information. Install this component on the SQL server on which the MessageStats database resides.
•
Reports: Provide detailed information about mailboxes and user configurations. Install this component on the IIS Server on which the MessageStats Reports are hosted.

Distributed Installation

In larger installations, and to experience enhanced performance and scalability, you might choose to have the MessageStats core components installed on separate computers.

In this situation, you must also install the corresponding Exchange Online report pack components on the separate computers. For example, to install the Exchange Online task processors, the destination computer must have the MessageStats task processors installed.

The following table lists the components in the order in which they must be installed on the different servers:
